Is it less expensive to build or buy a closet?

• <div><p>Whether it’s less expensive to build or buy a closet depends on both the type of closet and whether or not you’d be constructing it yourself.

Does it take longer to remodel or build a new custom closet?

• <div><p>Although you can complete a closet frame in just an afternoon, finishing the entire closet will take a few days to a week.

Q: Is it less expensive to build or buy a closet?

• <div><p>Whether it&rsquo;s less expensive to build or buy a closet depends on both the type of closet and whether or not you&rsquo;d be constructing it yourself. The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-do-custom-closets-cost.htm">cost of custom closets</a> built by a pro ranges from $1,300 to $3,800, but you may be able to DIY it for as little as $400.

Q: Can I stack packed boxes?

• <div><p>Since they are so fragile, it is not usually recommended to stack anything on top of your packed lamps. If you have sturdy boxes, and what you plan to put on top of them is of a similar weight, it&rsquo;s okay to stack.</p></div>

Q: Can I design my own closet?

• <div><p>You can design your own closet, but it&rsquo;s usually better to hire a professional to do the work for you. Not only will you get years of design experience to guide you toward the right layout and material choices, but you&rsquo;ll also only pay slightly more hiring a professional than you would creating your own plans and hiring a carpenter. A high-quality closet designer can provide insight into how to lay out your closet, and they may be able to find you a good deal on the carpentry or complete the work using an affordable, in-house team.</p></div>
